Bag om Cicero's De Natura Deorum and Minucius' Octavius

This study treats of Cicero's De Natura Deorum (on the nature of the gods) and Minucius Felix' Octavius and revolves around the pre-christian influence of philosophy on later christian apologetics, which is shown to borrow from the ancient reasonings. In the first work Epicureanism and Stoicism are balanced by the Academy under the supervision of Cotta. In the second one a pagan is persuaded to embrace christianity. Ignoring the many quotes in Latin, it is still interesting reading for students of both theology and philosophy and one can always consult the translations mentioned in the bibliography.
